Chapter 7 You Are My Brother

Yue Sheng was talking with the village chief, but I was caught up in a little thing without paying attention.

"Little boy!" The little thing yelled at me.

I raise my eyebrows.

Can this black-and-white guy call me a little boy just because he looks like a lump of charcoal?

I am a bird with only quality, and I have never learned human swear words, but this does not prevent me from knowing that the little boy is swearing.

"Why are you coming to my house?" The little thing had his nostrils upturned, looking very majestic.

I remember him, the group of scumbags who came to Yue Sheng's house yesterday... No, among the children who came to my house to do their homework, he was the black baby, his name was Teacher Yue Sheng, and I was Yue Sheng's family raised little sun. In terms of ethics, he should call me a teacher...

Teacher, what's the matter?

Teacher?No, I am public.

Master?It doesn't seem right, Shigong is the teacher's teacher, and my ambition is not to be Yue Sheng's teacher, but to be Yue Sheng's husband.

Cough, or is it called Shi Niao?

Forget it, why should I care about titles with a little thing?

"My name is Shanxue." With my hands behind my back, I bent down slightly, and showed a kind smile to this human child—to prevent others from saying that I bullied the little kid, "You can call me Brother Shanxue."

"Huh?" The little thing sucked his nose, "What? Is there someone with the surname Shan?"

What's so strange about that?You human beings all came out of the mountains, and your ancestors are mountains, why can't you be named mountains?

But I didn't bother to explain, so I said, "I haven't told you my last name yet."

The little thing was joking, "Oh, what's your last name?"

This stumps me.

My surname is Parrot, and my name is Little Sun.

"My surname is Yue." I simply borrowed Yue Sheng's surname, "I am Yue Sheng's younger brother."

Little thing: "Oh, you are the younger brother."

I:"……"

Although he didn't get it wrong, why did his words sound so strange?

"Mountain snow."

A familiar voice came from behind, it was Yue Sheng calling me.

I hurried into the house and saw a few forms on the table.

The village head said: "Temporary status can be obtained, but you have to fill out a form and write down your name, age and contact information."

Yue Sheng has already filled out most of the forms for me, except for the column of my name.

He handed me the pen, "You write it yourself."

One stroke at a time, I wrote "Yueshanxue".

The village chief was overjoyed, and said to Yue Sheng: "This is to follow you."

For some reason, when I wrote these three words, I felt palpitations. I couldn't tell whether I was happy or unhappy. It seemed that my long-standing wish had finally come true. It was both satisfied and empty.

I can't describe it well, so I can only sigh -- human emotions are really complicated, and I still have to practice Little Sun.

The village chief stamped the form, and Yue Sheng took one of the forms, folded it in half, and put it in his pocket.

I could see that it was done.

However, the village head still dragged Yue Sheng and chattered, "It seems that school is about to start, and several families are not willing to send their children to attend classes. I will go door-to-door to mobilize, and you will have to work hard for the class."

Yue Sheng nodded, "I know."

"There is also the matter of the border forest farm..."

"We take turns patrolling."

The village chief seemed to want to say something, but finally stopped, and patted Yue Sheng on the shoulder, "Thanks to you."

I don't know exactly what they were talking about, but I puffed up my chest reflexively, and I felt proud.

When I left the village chief's house, the little thing chased me out and stuffed a big bag of wrinkled oranges into my arms.

I know this thing, because it looks ugly, it is called Ugly Tangerine, but the people in the city gave it a foreign name, called Shiranui, which means that you can’t get angry after eating it.

Based on the principle of not taking a line or a meter from the masses, I hypocritically refused.The little thing kept humming, saying that it was for Mr. Yue, and I was just a tool person in charge of carrying it.

I am quite a tempered bird. When others coax me, I am very polite and qualified.When others mock me, I am neither polite nor qualified.

So, I took the ugly tangerine, peeled one in front of the little thing, and stuffed it into my mouth without bothering to score.

The little thing's mouth and mine both turned into an "O", the only difference is that he was pissed off, while I was supported.

"You! You!" The little thing probably has never seen such a brazen person like me, and his dark little face turned red with anger.

As I chewed fiercely, I put my hips on my hips. After chewing one, I reached into my pocket with my paw, intending to peel another one.

This ugly tangerine is absolutely sweet.

However, before I got the second one, Yue Sheng took the pocket.

His face was cold, and his tone was also cold, "I'm back."

The little thing was still making faces at me from behind, I didn't bother to pay attention to him, and started to follow Yue Sheng.

I thought we were going home, but Yue Sheng took me to a small road.

At the end of winter and the beginning of spring, new shoots grow on the tree trunks, but there are piles of snow on the roadside.There were no low houses or courtyards with open doors on this path. I looked ahead and saw a slender pillar with a row of bungalows beside it.

I guess that post was about a flagpole, so we were walking towards the school.

"Brother Sheng." I was suddenly eager to try, "Shall we go to school to teach the children?"

Yue Sheng glanced at me, as if he was quite critical of my choice of words.

I took the opportunity to take out an ugly orange from my pocket.

"It's still early." He didn't stop me, "Go and see if there is anything that needs to be repaired."

Repair the house?I'm good at this!

The school was deserted, and Yue Sheng used the diesel engine to generate electricity for a while before the classroom lit up.

He was carrying a wooden box, knocking here and nailing there.I imitated his appearance, and I also held a hammer, and I beat it well.

He was repairing a table with a missing leg, and I had nothing to repair, and was bored, so I had to squat aside and hit a good chair with a hammer.

Without knocking this thing, it was actually smashed to pieces by my divine power.

Yue Sheng raised his head, frowning.

I quickly apologized, "I, I didn't mean to."

"Get water if you have nothing to do." Yue Sheng pointed to the bucket in the corner, "Wipe the table."

I worked swiftly and cleaned all the tables and chairs that Yue Sheng had repaired. When I came back after washing my hands, I saw Yue Sheng lit a cigarette and was about to smoke it.

I think I should flatter him, like peeling an ugly orange or something.

I carefully tore off the tendons on the ugly orange, brought it to Yue Sheng, and looked at him with a smile, "Brother Sheng, here it is."

He looked at me, then at my ugly orange, but finally chose his cigarette.

I really don't give face.

My hands were hanging for a long time, but I was not embarrassed at all.

If he doesn't eat, isn't it just cheaper for me?

I withdrew my hand and put the peeled ugly orange into my mouth.He smokes, I eat tangerines, and when he finishes smoking a cigarette, I have already eaten three ugly tangerines.

It's not that I gobble it up, it's that he smokes too slowly.

While smoking and watching me, I saw it all.

I don't know if he regretted not eating the ugly tangerine that was fed to his mouth.

He squeezed out the butt of his cigarette, turned towards me, and stretched out his right hand.I froze for a moment, then walked over, lowered my head, and put my chin on his palm.

His expression suddenly became wonderful.
